Nodularin induced oxidative stress contributes to developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020 Nodularin (NOD) is a kind of cyanobacterial toxins. It is of concern due to elicit severe genotoxicity in humans and animals. The comprehensive evaluation of NOD-induced adverse effects in living organisms is urgently needed. This study is aimed to report the developmental toxicity and molecular mechanism using zebrafish embryos exposed to NOD.

Cloning and Expression of Genes for Biodegrading Nodularin by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05
Toxins, 2019 Biodegradation is efficient for removing cyanobacterial toxins, such as microcystins (MCs) and nodularin (NOD). However, not all the microbial strains with the microcystin-biodegrading enzymes MlrA and MlrC could biodegrade NOD.

Evaluation of Carbonized Corncobs for Removal of Microcystins and Nodularin-R from Water
SeparationsMicrocystins (MCs) and nodularins (NODs) are cyanotoxins that can be found in water bodies during cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs). Consumption of water contaminated with cyanotoxins leads to health risks for humans and animals.

Pathway for Biodegrading Nodularin (NOD) by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 [PDF]
Toxins, 2016 Nodularin (NOD) is greatly produced by Nodularia spumigena and released into the environment when toxic cyanobacterial blooms happened in natural water body, which is seriously harmful to human and animals.
